Another uncle muttered, "All just for attention? What a sha."
The livestream chat was wild:
"He really faked all of it?!"
"Even the doctor was in on it?!"
"Yu Holea is the only one with sense!"
"I feel so bad for iyu..."
Yu Holea turned to iyu and said gently,
"I know it hurts. But it’s better to know the truth than to live with lies."
iyu nodded slowly, wiping her tears. "Thank you... for telling ."
Xu Tian stepped up beside Yu Holea.
"What do we do with the madman?"
"Let the police handle him," she said.
"He still agreed to help with this fake scene. That’s a cri too."
Fang Jinhai stayed quiet. He didn’t say anything more.
"Do you want to press charges against him?" Yu Hole asked Liu iyu while pointing at Xu Tian.
Fang Jinhai, who was silent till now, suddenly shook his head and said,
"No! Please don’t! I am sorry! I promise I won’t do such a thing again!"
Liu iyu pursed her lips.
Though she was heartbroken, her calculating side was still active.
If she put Fang Jinhai behind bars for such a small matter, the audience might call her ruthless.
Her online persona was a kind and cheerful person.
Liu iyu looked at Fang Jinhai, then glanced at the crowd and the livestream cara still pointed at her.
She took a deep breath and said in a soft voice, "I won’t press charges."
Everyone blinked in surprise.
"Even after what he did?" soone whispered.
Yu Holea raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
Liu iyu nodded.
"Yes. What he did was wrong, but... he didn’t really hurt anyone. He just made a mistake because he liked . That’s all."
The chat lit up again:
"Wow, she forgave him??"
"iyu is too kind..."
"She’s such a good person, even when she’s hurting."
Liu iyu turned to Fang Jinhai and said clearly,
"I forgive you. But that doesn’t an we’re okay. You lied to , and I won’t forget that."
Fang Jinhai lowered his head. "I understand. Thank you..."
Yu Holea didn’t say anything, but she gave iyu a small nod of respect.
Soon, the police arrived.
Xu Tian handed the madman over to a police officer who had just arrived.
"Take him away. He caused enough trouble already."
The officer nodded and led the man out of the crowd.
The villagers slowly started to calm down. So people still looked upset, but others looked thoughtful.
One auntie whispered, "I hope these young people learn sothing from this."
The shooting was over for the day. Due to the incident, the task was
Due to the incident, the task was canceled.
The crew started packing up their things. So people still talked about what happened, shaking their heads.
"I can’t believe it was all fake," one of the cara guys said.
"Good thing Yu Holea figured it out," another replied.
Yu Holea stood quietly to the side, watching everyone. She wasn’t smiling, but she looked calm.
Xu Tian walked up to her with a bottle of water. "You okay?"
She nodded. "Yeah. Just tired."
"You were amazing today," he said. "If you didn’t speak up, no one would know the truth."
Liu iyu walked past them. She didn’t say anything, but she gave Yu Holea a short glance—sothing between thanks and guilt.
Yu Holea didn’t react.
..........
After the discussion, Fang Jinhai was removed from the show.
Xu Tian shook his head and said,
"Fang Jinhai is truly an idiot. Even if he loved Liu iyu, he should at least control himself."
"Do you think Fang Jinhai did that because he loved Liu iyu?" Yu Holea asked with a chuckle.
Xu Tian blinked. "What do you an? Didn’t he say that himself?"
Yu Holea shook her head slowly.
"That’s just what he wanted people to believe. But love doesn’t make soone plan fake kidnappings and lie to everyone."
Xu Tian frowned. "Then why did he do it?"
She looked up at the sky for a mont before saying,
"He wanted fa. Attention. Maybe he did like Liu iyu, but this wasn’t about love. It was about getting people to see him as a hero."
Xu Tian thought about it for a second, then nodded.
"Yeah... That makes sense. He always acted like he was the main character. Liu iyu is so kind she forgave him so easily. "
Yu Holea laughed. "You think so?"
Xu Tian shrugged. "I an, yeah. She didn’t have to forgive him, but she still did. That takes a big heart."
Yu Holea looked at him with a small smile. "Or maybe... she just didn’t want to lose her fans."
Xu Tian blinked. "Huh?"
"Think about it," Yu Holea said.
"She’s always smiling on cara, acting sweet and cheerful. If she got mad or pressed charges, so fans might say she’s fake."
"Ohhh..." Xu Tian said slowly. "So you’re saying she forgave him... to protect her image?"
"Yup." Yu Holea nodded. "She thought that her forgiveness would make her seem kind-hearted and pure, but what she didn’t know is... there is a fine line between foolishness and kindness."
"You an..." Xu Tian looked at Yu Holea with wide eyes.
"Yes. She will most likely be called foolish on the internet." Yu Holea said.
.........
That night.
When the episode aired, the internet was full of praise for Liu iyu.
People flooded the comnts:
"She’s such an angel!"
"iyu is so forgiving and sweet, I love her even more now!"
"She handled that so well!"
Her fans made fan art of her crying but smiling. So people even made video edits of the mont she said, "I forgive you," with soft music in the background.
But... things didn’t stay that way for long.
After a few days, more people started thinking more deeply. They began to talk about it online.
One person posted on a forum: "Wait... why did she forgive soone who LIED and faked a whole drama?"
Another said, "Being kind is good, but that was just dumb. She let him off too easy."
Soon, people started changing their minds.
"She’s too soft."
"Is she really that kind or just trying to look good for the caras?"
"I used to like her, but now I think she’s fake. No one’s that nice in real life."
Even so of her old fans turned against her.
s popped up of Liu iyu’s smiling face with captions like:
"When soone lies to you, but you’re too soft to do anything about it."
"Kindness or just clueless?"
The praise started turning into teasing. Then, into hate.
Her fan page lost followers.
People in the comnts kept calling her foolish.
So said she made all girls look weak.
anwhile, others praised Yu Holea and Xu Tian.
"They are indeed smart. While others were panicking and didn’t know how to react, they not only caught the culprit but calmly analysed everything!"
"I love Yu Holea. That woman is so beautiful! She knows dicine, cooking and is even smart. She is elegant and calm too! Perfect wife material."
"Man, I wish I could marry her!"
"Xu Tian and she look so beautiful together. Am I the only one who ships them together?"
"Sa! too! I ship them! "
Another post started to trend that day.
#Xu Tian and Yu Holea, the power couple!#
At night, when the phones of all the celebrities were returned, Liu iyu’s manager called her and scolded her,
Why did you act like a doormat on cara?!" her manager shouted over the phone.
Liu iyu sat on her bed, staring at the floor. Her fingers gripped the phone tightly.
"I... I just wanted to be nice," she said quietly.
"Nice?!" the manager snapped. "The whole internet is laughing at you now! People think you’re fake, dumb, or both!"
Liu iyu bit her lip. She had seen the comnts, too. At first, she was happy—people called her kind and beautiful. But now...
Now they called her nas. "Spineless." "Too soft." "Attention seeker."
She felt sick reading them.
"I thought if I forgave him, they would understand," she said.
"Well, they don’t!" the manager snapped.
"Its all because of that b*tch Yu Holea! If she hadn’t asked that question, no one would have criticized !" Liu iyu muttered.
Her manager went quiet for a second. Then he said, "Yu Holea didn’t make you forgive him. You did that all by yourself."
"But she knew what would happen!" Liu iyu said, her voice rising. "She asked that question on purpose! She made look weak!"
"You’re the one who smiled and forgave him in front of the whole country," the manager said sharply.
"You wanted to look good. But guess what? It backfired."
"Are you her manager or mine?" Liu iyu almost shouted.
"I am your manager, and hence, I am advising you. Yu Holea has beco one of the most loved candidates. So, instead of going against her every ti, try to build a good relationship!" Her manager explained.
